How come other cities in the United States will support losing NFL teams but not Los Angeles? why? how come?

Question

Remember, the NFL failed in Los Angeles because according to everyone, and I mean literally everyone, like everyone online, everywhere says that that nobody supported the 3 teams that were in Los Angeles, so thats why they left. But anyway, how come in other U.S. cities, the fans will support their team no matter what happens, stick with them through thick and think, even in hard, difficult times, like when their team is not making the playoffs. Look at the Cleveland Browns for example? I never thought about this before too but I guess it's fair to list the San Diego Chargers up there as well too, they have not always been successful but they have never left San Diego because there fans still attend there games. So why has the NFL in Los Angeles been a failure? Yes I know because nobody supported them in Los Angeles, but why did they not stick with the Rams and Raiders through thick and think like real fans do? the Raiders did win a Super Bowl in 1983 when they were in Los Angeles, and the Rams made it to a Super Bowl in Los Angeles in 1980.

Answer 1

God i wish i knew, maybe because there is too much else other to do in the L.A. area than going to a Sporting event, but man, I wish the Rams would come back to L.A. since they were there for almost 50 years.

Answer 2

There are 3 teams in California - The Raiders, the 49ers, and the Chargers, it would be hard to get a fourth team in California to have a strong fanbase. The 49ers already have a lot of die hard fans from the Montana/Rice/Young days, a lot of Chargers fans still awaiting a Superbowl victory, and Raiders fans still loyal to their team (even if they don't always show class at times). These 3 NFL teams in California have pretty strong fan bases, Los Angeles would really have to start from scratch.

Answer 3

The NFL, like each and every business enterprise businesses, are incentivized by income. the l. a. marketplace has been examined different cases with communities and the followers proved to be adverse supporters of a expert soccer group. you ought to've considered the l. a. Raider video games.....PATHETIC. in some unspecified time interior the destiny, i think of the NFL will return to the l. a. / OC area however the socal marketplace will continuously be hyper scrutinized until eventually the followers coach to be dependable clientele.

Answer 4

L.A in my eyes is a glamor city. The people there are in to flash and instant gratification. The lakers are very popular because they are flashy and have always been good. I mean you don't see clipper games getting sold out because they have not been consistently good. A team in L.A. would have to be flashy and easy to follow witch is not football. why see a crappy expansion team when you could shop or watch the lakers?

Answer 5

Because people in LA care about espresso and interior designers, zip codes and brunch, gluten-free and moisturizers, Botox and Jack Persalls, spf 30 and guacomole.



They're like the 80% of Yankee fans who are "life long" Yankee fans only when the team is 6 outs from a World Series win.

Answer 6

Because of the Lakers.

But think about it, even though they're in the same city, the Clippers failed to catch fans...

Lakers had it all!

Answer 7

Because people in L.A. have no souls.
